Alternattiva Demokratika strongly condemns the violence against a Times journalist and photographer today during a protest by hunters.

Alternattiva Demokratika Chairperson, Prof. Arnold Cassola, said; “In a civilised and democratic society, whilst there is to be full space for peaceful demonstrations and protests, there is absolutely no room for any type of violence, which we totally condemn. AD shows its solidarity with the journalist and news photographer who were victims of this senseless violence.”

“Prime Minister Muscat should reflect on his methods of promising everything to everyone in order to get their votes. The violence today is also due to the empty promises of those politicans who resort to all sorts of double speak to gain votes”.
